A Recipe for Dreaming is a little treasure of wise words and beautiful images. With insight, humour and a deep sense of humanity, Bryce Courtenay inspires us to become dreamers and questioners, creators of lives that are rich and rewarding. Illuminating these musings are the superb visual poems of Anie Williams.

'Whatever the dream, no matter how daring or grand, somebody will eventually achieve it. It might as well be you.' Bryce Courtenay

A Recipe For Dreaming is a book by South African born author, Bryce Courtenay. At 64 pages, with not much text and quite a lot of illustrations, it does not take longer than about twenty minutes to read. It is “a collection of thoughts and images to make you dream again”. The illustrations by Ann Williams are quite whimsical: some are rather Leunig-like, others definitely resemble Picasso’s work. While the sentiments expressed might be appreciated and even inspirational for those in the right frame of mind, this book is not for cynics.
